I suppose this is mostly about the games, so I'll move this over to Pokémon Gaming Central and we'll see if Jak thinks it's different enough from the "Do you nickname?" thread to remain open ;)
Ah, sorry XD I did not know about that thread either :P
I don't think I ever gave them anything really hilarious. I named a Bidoof Dexter in White just because I thought it looked like a Dexter.
Dexter is a cool name :P
I rarely nickname my Pokémon, unfortunately. Last time I did was about six years ago, of I remember correctly. Long time, huh? Not sure which Pokémon it was, but I think it could be Blastoise. I wound up naming it "Warterutle," or something along the line. Very cheesy, I know. ;o;
Yeah, I only nickname my Pokemon in hacks, not in the official games :)
Woahhhhhh that is a long time :0 lol, Waterturtle... That's actually a good nickname XD
I tend to name mine after Roman/Greek mythological figures, typically relating the Pokemon's type to the deity's realm or what they represent. My Lapras is Poseidon, named after the god of the sea, for example, and my Lucario is Kratos, the personification of strength and power.
I also like using the names of the Nine Divines from the Elder Scrolls series, and the Daedric Princes. The dragon names are a little long, but I always name the dragon in my team after Alduin.
Ohh, those are interesting ideas :0
I guess you'll never get stuck for nicknames huh? :P
I named my Crobat after Remilia Scarlet from the Touhou series. I also nicknamed my Graveler something really simple: Pebbles. As you can tell, I'm not too imaginative on nicknames :p
If I'm out of names, I name them after friends from PC. :)
Oh, awesome! Pebbles haha.
Yeah, I usually get stuck for names too XD that's a nice idea :)
Well in Australia there's a paper company called "Reflex" with their slogan "Always rely on Reflex" so i was doing a Nuzlocke challenge on Silver and named my Cyndaquil "Reflex" because i always seem to rely on my starter.
I also call any Magikarp i catch or purchase "Giglomesh" because it's Satan in a fish.
Ahh yes I live in Aus too :P That's an awesome nickname idea, too :D
Lol, satan in a fish XD
My tentacruel is "U Jelly" and my lickilicky is "Miley Cyrus" :)
:0 Those are great nicknames!!
I used to be so uncreative when it comes to nicknames. xD In Ruby, my Swampert was named Kip. My Swablu was nicknamed Cotton, my Kirlia was was Bangs, because I thought her bangs were cool. xD
XD I like the name Kip though
I love nicknaming!
